If you look at all the old Top Of The Pops TV shows in the UK back in the 70s when the vocalists actually sang live they all have very thin mics with no ball on the end. Not sure what they were as I haven't seen any repeats in years but I would love to know what they were, especially the radio versions with the silly antenna bits on the bottom. Phildo

How many TV shows do you know where they actually sing, not lipsync? Personally, I only know one. Hey, they BBC actually boasts that they invented lipsync-ing: "And here's a shocker for the uninitiated, although the early shows were live, the acts actually MIMED to their songs! Lost for words? So were they! Sadly, the first ever show is lost to history forever, but hey, that miming thing really took off, eh?" http://www.bbc.co.uk/totp/history/ -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com

I had several of them myself at one time, this is before phamtom power was common and they all had separate power units supplying them with 51 volts. They were excellent mikes. The mikes with the bit of wire hanging out were normal mikes with a bit of wire in the xlr ( or din in the case of the Calrecs) just to make them look like radio mikes. Ron(UK) |
